If it is so important to the left to stop Sarah Palin from running for President, then it is that much more important that she run - and win!

You have two options, DNC. You can retract your incendiary statements or you can take what’s coming because you have seriously earned it! I don’t mean just from me. You are on the verge of a war you asked for but don’t really want; a war of words from the people of the United States of America. You might have heard of us – WE PAY THE SALARIES FOR THOSE WHO WEAR YOUR LABEL.

I’m referring to the Facebook war the DNC is waging against Sarah Palin. More here.

Have you read the Baucus bill? Did you read H.R.3200? I did. And I wrote about both of them. They’re on this blog. I suggest you look them up and read them for yourself.

Sarah Palin is RIGHT! Big surprise to those of us who have been able to verify the things she has said by reading the bill ourselves.

So sit down, DNC. I’ve got some things I want to say to you. You probably won’t like any of them, but now ask me if I care!

Sometimes in writing we use quotation marks to designate conversation or a direct quote. Sometimes we use them as a way of saying, “Take this as emphasis rather than fact.” Go back to her Facebook post, ignoramus, and you’ll see she had the words “death panel” in quotation marks. There were only two words 1-death, 2-panels. Would you classify that as a conversation? Well, hmmm, I ah.. I ah.. don’t think so. Were the words quoted from the bill? Let’s see… um.. no.. I guess they weren’t. Okay.. so they’re not conversation and they’re not a direct quote.

You tell me, DNC. What does that leave? Huh? I can’t hear you. A little louder, please. Oh.. I see. They were used for emphasis. The same way Grayson meant that Republicans want Americans to die quickly. The same way he meant that lobbyist is a whore. What’s that you say? You only take things critically when a Republican says it?

Well, that explains the whole thing. Now I understand. It’s the old double standard thing again.

Among all the things you haven’t figured out yet is that the people who recognize and trust Sarah Palin’s wisdom and knowledge will fight back. There are almost one million of us following her on Facebook. No, that’s not as many as your Messiah has, but we’re working on it. And we appreciate all the help you give us. You see, every time you attack her, she gains another 30,000+ followers.

You’re trying to use your last bit of political capital to destroy a woman who represents the only real threat you have, and the things she says empowers the rest of us to speak up. You are so frightened of this one woman that you can’t find a rock big enough to hide under until Hurricane Sarah blows by with her next Facebook post.

How much time, energy and money have you spent since August 2008 trying to shut her up? How successful have you been? Where are you going to attempt your next attack on her? In her own driveway? I wouldn’t do that if I were you. She’s a pretty good hand with a shotgun. Ask that moose in her freezer.

So go ahead, DNC. Take your best shot. The only thing is you’d better aim higher than you are now because this woman stands head and shoulders above you and everything you stand for. Oh… somebody else wrote that – I didn’t. Well, I don’t think she’d mind if I borrow it!

Anytime a group of health care professionals get together to tell me what options I have about what care I “may receive” sounds pretty much like a “panel” to me and since we are speaking of what may be my demise, I consider that to mean “death”. Therefore, “DEATH PANEL” seems to fit quite well, don’t you think?

The DNC is telling us once again whom they really fear. Judging by their latest attack on Sarah Palin, they obviously feel very threatened by her positions on issues vital to this country and by her powerful influence in American politics. Last night, Politico reportedthat DNC executive director Jen O'Malley Dillon has sent out an e-mail encouraging fellow Democrats to attack Governor Palin on Facebook. The DNC has also set up a webpage and posted this video:

It strikes this author as a little ironic that after so much deception and lack of transparency about the healthcare bill that the DNC would call Sarah Palin a liar when she was the one person brave enough to stand up to their lies and warn the American people. But I must say that it is very consistent with their past behavior.

I would encourage all supporters of Sarah Palin to increase your support on her Facebook pageand to send out messages from your own Facebook pages promoting and supporting Sarah Palin. Let's show the DNC that we believe Sarah Palin and not them and that we support her position on healthcare. In fact, we support all her endeavors as she leads the Conservative Revolution to take America back!

Here are some videos that you may want to share through Facebook and elsewhere. The links to the videos are posted below in the reference section.

The following video was posted the day Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska, but I think it is appropriate for this new attack as well as for all that follow. As others have said before me, we are engaged in a war for the very soul of our nation - a war between what is right and wrong for us and for America. And Sarah Palin is leading the charge in this rightous battle. Go, Sarah, Go! God bless Sarah Palin - and God bless America!
